10:2 And there came to him Pharisees, they asked him, testing him, Is it legal for a man to divorce his wife?


10:3 And answering, he said to them, What did Moses command you*?


10:4 And they said, Moses permitted us to write a document of divorcement and to divorce her. {Deut. 24:1}


10:5 And Jesus answering, said to them, He wrote this commandment for you*, for your* hardness of heart.

10:6 But God made* them male and female from the beginning of the creation.

10:7 Because of this, a man will leave his father and mother and will be joined to his wife;

10:8 and the two will become one flesh, so-that they are no more two, but one flesh.

10:9 Therefore, what God has yoked together, let man not separate.


10:10 And in the house, his disciples asked him again concerning the same thing.

10:11 And he says to them, Whoever divorces his wife and should marry another, is committing adultery against her;

10:12 and if a woman divorces her husband and should marry another, she is committing adultery.

10:13 And they were bringing to him little children, that* he might touch them, but the disciples rebuked those bringing them.

10:14 But when Jesus saw it, he was indignant and said to them, Allow the little children to come to me, and do not forbid them; for* of such is the kingdom of God.

10:15 Assuredly I say to you*, Whoever does not accept the kingdom of God like a little child. He may never* enter into it.

10:16 And embracing them and laying his hands upon them, he blessed them.

10:18 And Jesus said to him, Why do you call me good? None is good except one, our God.

10:19 You know the commandments: ‘Do not commit adultery. Do not murder. Do not steal. Do not falsely testify. Do not defraud. Honor your father and mother.' {Ex. 20:12-16 & Deut. 5:16-20}


10:20 And answering, he said to him, Teacher, I have observed all these things from my youth.


10:21 And Jesus looking on him, loved* him and said to him, You are lacking in one thing. Go, sell as many things as you have and give to the poor and you will have treasure in heaven and come-here. Follow me, lifting up your cross.

10:22 But being dismal at the saying, he went away sorrowful; for* he had many properties.


10:23 And Jesus, having looked around, says to his disciples, How those who have wealth will hardly enter into the kingdom of God!

10:24 And the disciples were amazed at his words. But answering again, Jesus says to them, Children, how difficult it is for those who have confidence in wealth to enter into the kingdom of God!

10:30 who may not receive a hundred times that now in this time, houses and brethren and sisters and mothers and children and fields, with persecutions, and everlasting life in the world to come.

10:31 But many who are first will be last, and the last will be first.

10:32 And they were on the road, going up to Jerusalem, and Jesus was leading them and they were amazed, and following, were afraid. And he took again the twelve and began to tell them the things which were about to befall him,

10:33 saying, Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem, and the Son of Man will be given up to the high-priests and the scribes, and they will condemn him to death and will give him to the Gentiles,

10:34 and they will mock him and will scourge him and will spit upon him and will kill him and he will rise* up in the third day.


10:35 And James and John, the sons of Zebedee, go before him, saying, Teacher, we wish that* whatever we ask of you, you might do it for us.


10:36 And he said to them, What do you* wish that I may do for you*?


10:37 And they said to him, Give to us that* we may sit, one at your right hand and one at your left hand, in your glory.


10:38 But Jesus said to them, You* do not know what you* ask. Are you* able to drink the cup that I am drinking? And to be immersed* in the immersion* that I am immersed* in?


10:39 And they said to him, We are able.
And Jesus said to them, Indeed the cup that I am drinking, you* will drink, and with the immersion* that I am immersed* in, you* will be immersed*.

10:40 But to sit at my right and at my left is not mine to give, but it is for them for whom it has been prepared.

10:41 And when the ten heard it, they began to be indignant concerning James and John.


10:42 But having called them to him, Jesus says to them, You* know that those who seem to rule over the Gentiles are lording it over them, and their great ones are wielding authority over them.

10:43 But it will not be so among you*, but whoever wishes to become great among you*, will be your* servant;

10:44 and whoever wishes to become first among you*, will be bondservant of all.

10:45 For* the Son of Man also did not come to be served, but to serve and to give his life as a redemption in exchange-for many.

10:46 And they come to Jericho and as he traveled out from Jericho, with his disciples and a considerable crowd, the son of Timaeus, Bartimaeus, a blind man, was sitting and begging beside the road.

10:47 And when he heard that it was Jesus the Nazarene, he began to cry out and say, Jesus, you, the son of David, show-mercy on me.

10:48 And many rebuked him, that* he should be silent, but he cried out much more, You, the son of David, show-mercy on me.


10:49 And Jesus stood still and asked for him to be summoned.
And they summon the blind man, saying to him, Have courage. Arise; he is summoning you.

10:50 And he, casting away his garment, having stood up, came to Jesus.


10:51 And answering, Jesus says to him, What do you wish that I might do for you?
And the blind man said to him, Rabboni, that* I may recover my sight.


10:52 And Jesus said to him, Go; your faith has cured you. And immediately he recovered his sight and followed Jesus on the road.
